#STAR TREK VOYAGER SEASON 4 IMDB SERIES#

Voyager is the third Star Trek series to feature Q. They also encounter hazardous natural phenomena such as a Nebulous area called the Nekkrit Expanse, a large area of empty space called the Void, wormholes and other anomalies.

On the way home, the crew contends with hostile forces that include organ-harvesting Vidiians, belligerent Kazon, nomadic Hirogen hunters, Species 8472 from fluidic space and most notably the Borg in the later seasons when Voyager has to move through large areas of Borg space. The Delta Quadrant is unexplored by the Federation. In the show's fourth season, Kes leaves the series, while the crew grows to include Seven of Nine, a Borg drone liberated from the collective who, like the Doctor, expands (or rather, regains) her humanity throughout the series. Both Paris and Kes become qualified assistants to the Doctor, expanding the ship's medical capability. While in the Delta Quadrant, the crew gains the Talaxian Neelix as a local guide and chef, along with his Ocampan girlfriend, Kes.

At first the EMH is confined to sickbay and holodecks, but during the course of the series gains his freedom by way of a mobile holo-emitter, as well as expanding his program and personality on his own initiative. Paris becomes the helmsman, and the Emergency Medical Hologram, designed for only short-term use, becomes the chief medical officer. The ship's operations officer is Harry Kim. Tuvok is revealed to be a Starfleet spy on the Maquis ship and resumes his duties as chief security officer. B'Elanna Torres, a half-human/half- Klingon Maquis, becomes chief engineer. Chakotay, leader of the Maquis group, becomes first officer. The Starfleet and Maquis crews integrate and work together as they begin the 70,000-light-year journey home, predicted to take 75 years. Believing the Kazon will use the Array to harm the Ocampa, Janeway decides to destroy it rather than use it to return home. The Maquis ship collides with a Kazon ship, destroying both, after the Maquis crew transports to Voyager. Voyager and the Maquis ship are attacked by Kazon raiders intent on capturing the Caretaker's Array, which was used to transport the ships. In the process, several members of Voyager's crew are killed, including the first officer, helmsman, chief engineer, and chief medical officer along with all the medical personnel. Voyager enters the dangerous Badlands and finds the Maquis ship, but an ancient alien known as the Caretaker transports both ships to the Delta Quadrant, 70,000 light years on the other side of the galaxy. Janeway brings Tom Paris, a former Starfleet officer-turned-Maquis, out of prison to help find the ship. Her Tactical officer, Tuvok, is undercover on that ship posing as one of the Maquis. In the pilot episode, ' Caretaker', Voyager is on a mission to locate a missing ship piloted by Maquis fighters. In its later seasons, Voyager featured visual effects from Foundation and Digital Muse. Deep Space Nine started using Foundation Imaging in conjunction with Digital Muse one year later (season 6), after Voyager had proven that CGI could look as realistic as models. Season 3's 'The Swarm' was the first episode to use Foundation's effects exclusively. Paramount obtained an exclusive contract with Foundation Imaging which had done the effects for Babylon 5's first three seasons. That changed when Star Trek: Voyager became Paramount's first television property to go fully CGI for certain types of shots in mid-season 3 (late 1996). Amblin Imaging won an Emmy for the opening title visuals, but the weekly episode exteriors were captured using hand-built miniatures of the Voyager, shuttlecraft, and other ships.

Other television shows such as seaQuest and Babylon 5 had exclusively used CGI to avoid the huge expense of models, but the Star Trek television department continued using models, because they felt models provided better realism.

Voyager was also first Star Trek TV show to use Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and eliminate the use of models for exterior space shots. Around that time, Paramount was sold to Viacom- Voyager was the first Star Trek TV series to premiere after the sale concluded. The pilot, ' Caretaker', was shot in October 1994. Voyager was shot on the stages The Next Generation had used. (Paramount originally considered launching a network on its own in 1977, which would have been anchored by the TV series Star Trek: Phase II.) Planning started in 1993, and seeds for the show's backstory, including the development of the Maquis, were placed in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes. Voyager was produced to launch UPN, a television network planned by Paramount. 5 Connections with other Star Trek incarnations.
